helaman 4: 18 - 5: 4
nephi resigned as chief judge so he and his brother lehi could devote themselves to preaching the word of God. how can we make missionary work a higher priority in our lives?
--> i feel like lately there have been lots of great talks on missionary work and how to implement it into our daily lives. one thing i heard this past week that has just been stuck in my head is that every calling is a missionary calling. in clayton christensen's book "the power of everyday missionaries", he tells a story about his calling to get the sacrament bread for the sacrament each sunday. he decided to call the 3 or 4 women in his area that he knew were excellent bread makers and asked them to teach him how to make bread, which led to a great discussion about why he needed it and what the sacrament was, etc. after reading this story i was thinking, wow... if he can take a calling as simple as getting the sacrament bread and turn it into a great missionary opportunity, i can do the same with every calling i've been given.
being a missionary isn't really work at all, it's just a lifestyle and a mindset. change your mind and change your life. when you're wearing missionary on your sleeve, you don't need to work at it, you simply act as a missionary out of second nature :)
